Volunteer Opportunities

Our volunteers are amazing people who provide essential support in our programmes, events and offices throughout South Africa and of course you'll be playing a vital role in helping us to save children's lives!

We value the support of every single volunteer. Without them, it wouldn’t be possible to achieve the outcomes that we have for children in South Africa.

Why you should volunteer for Save the Children

Volunteering is a great way to meet lots of new people and become a vital part of a community committed to saving children’s lives. It's also a good way to improve your career prospects. Through training, guidance and employee support, Save the Children supports all of our volunteers.

Other ways to volunteer

There are so many ways to volunteer your time with Save the Children South Africa that we have opportunities for almost everyone. If you’re looking to lend your skills or build team morale you may be interested in corporate volunteering. If organising a fundraiser, or taking part in an adventure challenge overseas or in South Africa is more your style, find out more about opportunities in our fundraising and events section.
